A Woodland Squirrel Resting on an Oak Branch
A squirrel sits perched upon a thick oak tree branch high in the forest canopy, holding an oak leaf in its paws. Scattered acorns lie nearby along the wood bark and hollow area of the tree trunk. The woodland background surrounds the tree where the animal gathers its seasonal stash.
How Squirrels Prepare for Cold Winters
Tree squirrels spend autumn busily gathering energy-rich oak acorns and caching them across their forest territory. Using their keen sense of smell, these rodents bury thousands of individual nuts in shallow ground holes or store them inside hollow tree trunks to retrieve during cold winter months when food is scarce. Unrecovered acorns often germinate in spring, helping new oak trees sprout and expand native forests.
